✓ Two cases of auriculotemporal nerve syndrome (Frey's syndrome) presenting as trigeminal tic douloureux are reported. This condition, characterized by gustatory sweating and facial hyperemia, is occasionally associated with pain, which is usually described as aching or burning, and long-lasting. In these two cases, however, a tantalizing gustatory pain occurred in excruciating brief paroxysms. The pathophysiology of the syndrome, with particular reference to pain, and possible treatment modalities are discussed.

Frey's syndrome is the occurrence of hyperesthesia, flushing and warmth or sweating over the distribution of the auriculotemporal nerve and/or greater auricular nerve while eating foods that produce a strong salivary stimulus. Frey's syndrome is also known as auriculotemporal syndrome and gustatory sweating. We present a case of Frey's syndrome after a condylar fracture and its treatment by internal rigid fixation. A review of the literature is provided along with mention of a simple test (Minor's test) that can help in the diagnosis of this syndrome.
